Is this mouse plugged into the PS/2 or USB port? This model can be used easily in both, if I am not mistaken (with the right adapter on the end ). If both mice had problem in the PS/2 port, it could just be that it is damaged slightly, in which case you will need to repair it. If both were plugged into USB, try different USB ports and see if it works.

Also if you can get the USB adapter for it, if the PS/2 is damaged, you could just plug it into a USB and have an easy quick cheapish fix.


You could always download and install the MouseWare for that model click here to download. But since other mice don't work, this is a long shot.

Yeah, I saw it. Looks a good mouse, but over here it's like £40, when you've got a MX500 like blade has, it's lunacy to go for a MX510 if you can get the 500 repaired cheaply.

Personally I don't believe in really flashy mice, there's just more stuff in it that can go wrong with the type of usage it gets, and they're ridiculously priced. The most advanced thing I go for is a simple scroll bar.

Edit: If you want to see if it is most likely a software problem you could try a system restore. Start > Help and Support > Restore my computer to an earlier time > Follow it through and pick a date before it started. If that doesn't work it implies, but doesn't mean for sure, that it isn't a software problem. It may work; I've heard it work in similar cases.
